for the life of me, I cannot use the wall end tool

i just want to cap the end of a simple drywall partition [3.5" stud + 1/2" drywall both sides]

what is the correct way to use this tool?

 

the cursor doesn't seem to react to the end of the wall at all

You need to click exactly on the outside corners or the end of the base / reference line for the wall end to work. 

You cannot add a wall end to a wall on a locked layer.

I know this doesn't apply in your case, but for the benefit of others, you cannot add a wall end to a COMPLEX profile.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to help you, I haven't come across this problem yet, are you sure you are trying to attach the end wall to the corner of your partition?

I was not clicking on the exact outside corner of the wall. I am now able to use the tool.

I am only able to select one response as a Solution, but I do want to thank you both for your input.

Glad we found your problem, I would only need your likes for a response that more closely matches your solution.


However, I would advise you to pay a little more attention to the video, as it often shows the whole process of the various projected solutions from the authors.
